Poquott

Tucked away on Long Island’s North Shore the incorporated Village of Poquott is a true gem. Poquott was founded by European settlers in 1659. The peninsula came to be known as “George’s Neck”, and was developed mostly as farmland.. The village is nestled between Port Jefferson Harbor and Setauket Harbor and is an eclectic mix of converted summer homes and waterfront estates. Residents have access to two beaches and a harbor front park.

People love Stony Brook/Port Jefferson that area because there’s really something for everybody.
We have a vibrant downtown, historic character and feel, we’re very fortunate to have the ferry connection and the railroad at the other end of the south gateway of this village.
I think people love the diversity of the three village area, I think they love the fact that we have the proximity to the beach, the university, and the school districts that we have.
It’s got a smaller community feel to it, that’s what people like about it.
Our schools here in Port Jefferson are small, you have a very small class size, so the student-to-teacher ratio is phenomenal. The kids are strong in athletics, they’re very strong with mathematics and science.
The elementary schools are just fantastic. They’re great, they have great class sizes and from my experience with my children going through here, the teachers are very attentive.
The high school offers probably as many electives as some colleges.
I love the beauty of the schools, but mostly it’s the people. The teachers really care about the kids and then you also have the university.
My two daughters went through the public schools system and I would say it is considered one of the best school systems on Long Island.
There are a lot of fun things for us to do at every age group that our kids have been in.
Coming home and being able to get to see the water on daily basis does a lot for your mental health.
We have so many great things, we have the Long Island Sound, Port Jeff Harbor, and Setauket Harbor where a lot of people like to do paddle boarding, kayaking, it’s just really rich in water sports. Each of our villages are all historic, so people love seeing the old architecture of the area and the old homes.
But if you’re looking for beaches and, you know, boating activities, you’re sort of in this wonderful position of being right in the middle of that.
Avalon Park is wonderful for the kids; it’s just a great place, the duck pond, but then we can take the train to the city or even drive into the city. We’re just a little over an hour away.
Wow, you have everything available to you.
In this area, also in Stony Brook Village, there are a number of restaurants that’re considered very good.
Port Jeff is where you want to go if you want to have good eating on the water and then in Three Village we can walk right to places like Pentimento’s or the Three Village Inn and that’s what we like to do.
There are several good Asian restaurants in the area that are quite popular. There are many different places where you can get all different kinds of dining options.
We have the Smith Haven mall which has everything you could possibly need.
You have lots of local markets in the area, including a whole foods, which is very popular. You also have a Trader Joe’s.
You have the smaller specialty stores, family-owned, which I always like to frequent.
Port Jeffersons a very special place to live.
We love the beauty of the area, the geography, the architecture, it pops in every season.
I am very happy that we decided to settle here, I feel safe, my children have grown up with kids from all over the world.
We come back here and we’re like, “Wow, we live here, this is ours, you know, we’re so proud to live here”.
